Odoo's new pricing structure is almost making it impossible to resist for small businesses. I had always planned on hosting my own Odoo solution but now for 1000€ a year (3 users with 2 modules [CRM/Sales & Website/eCommerce]) it's almost too good to resist. Considering before the same solution cost 6500€ for 3 users with 2 modules.

1) They host my server

2) They backup my server

3) They answer my questions, resolve my problems.

4) They upgrade my software

5) I get access to v9 functionality before v9 is released.

6) If I want another module it's only 200€ a year extra (regardless of the number of users)

I sound like a paid advertiser, however I am just surprised. And now I am really considering their SaaS offering. Am I missing the downside?

Honestly full hosting solution would cost me less than 50€ a year so they are making good money above a generic hosting company. They already give away the software. So basically I am considering is paying 1000€ worth the hours I would need to run and maintain my own small server... I think so, well done Odoo.
